Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

[Intro]
Am G Am G Am G Am G
[Verse 1]
Am Em
Spring in Macedonia
Am Em
The last clean pocket on a blood-soaked coat
F C
In a state of claustrophobia
F G
Waiting for the rain to wash it all out
[Chorus 1]

Fear in their eyes, did the crucifix lie?
Did the words of the church run dry?
F
Fear in their eyes, did the crucifix lie?
Em F
Did the words of the church run dry?

Am Em
Meeting on the road to Basra
Am Em
You, half-blind in a blood-soaked coat

The final song with the longest note

Like a silence, never broken

War is the book that nobody wrote
